Old Fashioned Paper

I recently read my first ever book online. Ebooks, netbooks, or whatever you want to call them have never really taken off, however. To me it just doesn't feel the same, or comfortable, to read a book online.

I love audio books in the car, and the standard old fashioned paper kind but the online kind just doesn't seem to work for me. Amazon now has this hand held reader that you can get. It works basically like a PDA that you can download books onto. It's made for easy reading. It can go with you like a book but has the advantage of being online. Somehow I'm just not so sure about that either. I love the idea of having all my books in my pocket at once, like a reader ipod, but could I get used to reading from a screen all the time? The advantage of having any book I wanted would probably win out in the end.
